Wow - does someone have a lot of time and money on their hands?!?! I must say, however, it does rock! :)

This explains a lot...
| Your Mind is 64% Cluttered |
 Your mind is quite cluttered. And like most clutter, it's a bunch of crap you don't need. Try writing down your worst problems and fears. And then put them out of your mind for a while. |

Christmas With a Capital C!!
Everyone should take a minute to watch this video and LISTEN to the words! This is one of my major pet peeves! I don't have a problem saying Happy Holidays now and again - I want everyone's holiday to be happy - but it IS Christmas! It seems to be okay to say Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa - whatever - but why do they make it taboo to say Merry Christmas?!? - that's WHAT IT IS!! I've been on this bandwagon for years now and I'm just thrilled that a cool band put my thoughts (okay - it was probably their thoughts, too!) to music!! Enjoy!

Koodos to the Jim Man!
Just wanted to put it in writing - MY HUSBAND ROCKS! As you know, the last couple of days have been a bit rough - did I say that already!?!?! : ) Anyway, at 3:00 this morning I needed to talk and my honey was so there for me even though he had a Bible Study with a bunch of teens at 6:30 am! He is my rock and I don't know what I would do without him. I just felt the need to let you all know how cool he is and how much I love him!
This is what my life is about...

CHRISTIAN WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS ...
I happened to open an e-mail from a friend this morning - she sent it several days ago, but I just now had time to read it. Wow - God knows what He's doing - had I opened it a few days ago I might have browsed it and trashed it. Today, I NEEDED it and I'm going to do my best to try and take some of this advice. I've broken almost all of these "rules" lately - no wonder my stress level is through the roof! Good stuff - hope it helps you, too! :)
An Angel says, "Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice."
1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety . If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19 Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations (hmm, keep a blog, maybe?!?!) :)
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people. (This one I got!!) :)
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you Jesus."
27. Laugh. (Need more of this one...we need a girls night out!!) :)
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33. Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe. (Talking to me!!)
36. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before.
GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.

LOVE!!
Okay - so I think there are only 2 of you who regularly read my blog and one of you wrote the blog I'm about to recommend, but in case there are more of you out there - check out my friend Nat's blog on LOVE! It made me decide that maybe my last 2 days wouldn't have been so crummy if I had a better attitude of outward love and less worry about my circumstances and day-to-day frustrations! Check it out...
Worse day...
Okay - so I only THOUGHT yesterday was a terrible day - today was worse! I hope this isn't a trend! I must say, however, that opening night tonight for the Wizard of Oz did a great job of raising my spirits! Something about seeing a bunch of young kids putting their talents to use in such an amazing way...cool! :)
